Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just thought I'd post I managed to get this done but not without a number of hiccups. The pressure hose got stuck in the plug hole and I couldn't remove it by hand. I had to grind down the outsides of a socket to fit the plug tube and cut the hose to slide the socket into the tube. The socket was a ...

Thanks for the suggestions gents, much appreciated. No quick access to brazing, although that sounds like a good idea. Changed to the o ring to one that I had that was a little softer although pretty much the same size. I can get around 30 psi in the cylinder with the compressor really ticking over ...

Id Just do it by hand as tiight as you can, the little bit of air that leaks out wont matter it will probably annoy you more than anything. Tried that, the air is pissing out and compressor going flat out to keep up. I'm worried the valves will fall through with it like that. Gotta be another way ...

Make your tool/fitting long. IM guessing you have to make it yourself anyway. No I just bought one of the shelf Simmo...........without thinking of course!!!! Its got an around 19mm hex nut with a 14 and 18mm fittings with O-rings to screw into the spark plug hole. That's got a rubber hose clamped ...

I'm feeling a bit stupid but I'll be stuffed if I can work it out. With the plugs on this motor buried down the bottom of shaft how do you get a tool in there to tighten up the hose to run the air through. It'd be same situation for connecting up a compression tester. Or there maybe a special tool ...

Also just wondering how much should a set of valve stem seals cost??? Just got quoted $345 from a Toyota Dealership, seems a bit out of control. Any alternatives.

Thanks for the replies guys,
How many clicks had those cars done tiler???

Hi there, My 1fzfe has just clicked over 170k running petrol only. It does a mixture of around town stuff plus 3 or 4 long towing trips every year. It's had good maintenance throughout it's lifetime. The last 10k have seen a lot of oil consumption which I believe is typical of the valve stem seals ...

Thanks a million rg. I'll grab a C clip and try to get it going. I can see how it could compress the spring as the shaft has a thinner section that the clip couldn't pass but I'm assuming the clip will grip the shaft hard enough to stop it falling lower than it is.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply rg. I went into to my local TJM stockist a few days ago and unfortunately they couldn't help me. They had a number of spare parts listed for the carrier, but alas no pin :cry: There's a picture in their catalogue here http://www.tjm.com.au/Portals/0/Brochures/100_series2.pdf but ...

I've got one of these that got hammered one time too many and I've had to weld the stopper pin mechanism back together as per the pic. http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/8405/1001280smru7.jpg Trouble is when it fell apart I suspect there was a washer, or stopper that fell off with it and I can't work ...

Fantastic replies. Thanks everyone for the responses. After I posted this I realised that it obviously had to be some sort of circuit breaking device but I couldn't work out why it wouldn't be simple in-line fuse.
Thanks again.

Hi there, I've got a Hayman Reese electric brake controller installed on my 100 Series but the main 12V line running to it for power is connected via this little gadget mounted in the engine bay. http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/8558/rimg0018sy9.jpg http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/6127 ...

Thanks guys, I'll start tracing it back through the vehicle

Hi there, Got a problem with my trailer. Indicators and brake lights work fine, but the tail lights don't work at all. I know a bit about electronics but this one has me stuffed. When trailer is unplugged the correct pin to power the tail lights sees a good 11 odd volts no worries. But when plugged ...

Thanks Rob,

Saw the Federal site but haven't seen any references to them anywhere so was a bit unsure about going there. Didn't think of Whitworths, I'll give them a try.

Cheers

My Deep Cycle batt has packed it in. Just wondering for those in Syd. where you have purchased your batts from. I'm looking at Exide's or Optima's (not sure how much $$$$ I want to blow yet).

Cheers
